Safe landing

I was having a coffee with my partner when some pelicans begun to land. I was lucky enough to be able to snap this scene. You can see the streak of water on the left where another one has just landed. I really enjoyed painting the water in this one.

I was raised in an artistic family. My step father’s mother was Hilda Rix Nicholas who is held in high regard in the art world. I was fortunate to be surrounded by her art work as a child.
I didn’t Seriously start painting until I was approximately 50 years old. I am a self taught artist however feel I have absorbed some knowledge of art growing up. I predominately paint in Acrylic however do dabble in pastels and water colour.
I am very passionate about the environment and animals which is often reflected in my art. I also have used my art to express some of my political views.
